The bar is called Prik obviously, it's in Amsterdam, and last time I checked, the cat is called "Prikkedik" (I've left Facebook a long time ago so maybe they've replaced her since, idk).

It's also a very nice gay bar with Very Nice People by the way. Highly recommended if you want a gay cocktail in Amsterdam Centrum (10-15 mins walk from Cantral Station). The cat may be hard to find when it's busy on evenings.

And on the second picture you can even see where the first pic was taken:

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

That's progress on a scale that's hard to wrap your head around.

In the face of climate change and human suffering and the suffering we've inflicted on the world, it can be so easy to wonder if it's worth it. Progress. Technology. Humanity.

But this is the story of possibly the most important and most astonishing progress humanity has ever made.

50% of children used to die. On average, all throughout history, across cultures, as far as we can tell, every second child died.

Until the past 200 years. In the past 200 years, the number of children dying around the globe has gone from 50% to less than 5%.

How much more progress will we have made in another 50 years? 100 years? More?

Kittens can’t regulate their own body temperature. That’s why they pile up.

Cats see us as colony members.

Masha saw a kitten that was on its own, no mommy, no other kittens to cuddle with. She instinctively knew that was a cold kitten. She knew that a kitten alone on a cold night was very likely to die. Because a kitten would have died too.

So, all she was doing was what any good colony member does - protecting the abandoned kitten. Then when the abandoned kitten’s mommy didn’t come back, she called the rest of the colony for help.

People have this bizarre idea that housecats don’t have a social sense. They do, and it saved this kid’s life. And possibly Masha’s too, as life on the streets is dangerous for a kitty.
